This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Tinker AFB for the sole-source procurement of 40 Cylinder Assemblies for the C-130 aircraft (NSN: 1650-01-069-2337/ PIN: 5C5792-1).

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as the authority for limited competition, with Tactair Fluid Control (CAGE: 70236) identified as the sole manufacturer. The procurement is a firm-fixed-price, fixed quantity contract with no options. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on SAM.gov on August 12, 2022, with no other vendors indicating interest. Market research conducted through August 19, 2022 confirmed this is a sole-source item manufactured only by Tactair. The justification notes that the technical data rights are not owned by the government and cannot be purchased or developed (AMSC Code P), making reverse engineering uneconomical. The acquisition will be synopsized on October 10, 2022. The document was approved by the Advocate for Competition on October 5, 2022, indicating the contract value is between $750,000 and $15 million.
